OK, so obviously Kristin Cavallari won't be inviting ole "Laguna Beach" rival Lauren Conrad to her upcoming nuptials, but we admit that we were a bit taken aback to hear from E! Online that she WILL be inviting former "Hills" costar (and über-nemesis) Audrina Patridge, as well as (less über of a nemesis but still a nemesis) Stephanie Pratt. Wow, it's almost as if those catfights between them weren't real....
One thing that was never fake for K-Cav was her relationship with Stephen Colletti--they're actually still great friends! So is her fiancé cool with inviting her first love to the wedding? Yep, he gets a VIP pass, presumably with a plus one (it's not like Stephen never moved on to other blonde beauties!).
Now for the really gossipy part (cause you know y'all were wonderin'). Kristin will NOT--we repeat, will NOT--be inviting Brody Jenner, Justin Bobby and Heidi Montag to the big event. In fact, it sounds like you couldn't pay her a boatload of money per episode to even be friends with them again.
Too bad--we were kinda hoping for a "Does anyone object to this union?" type moment at the chapel. But then again, what's the point if she's not inviting reality TV camera crews? For the record, there won't be any of those either. "Jay hates all that stuff," she told Ryan Seacrest, who of course pitched her a wedding special this morning. (No, nothing is sacred anymore, if that's what you were asking yourself. And that's why you watch cable.)

Oye dios mio! Apparently the incestuous nature of "Hills" hookups has a longer shelf life than the show itself--Us Weekly is reporting that Holly Montag and Justin Bobby are currently dating! The unlikely pairing has reportedly been together for a while, but the mag's source claims that Justin's still up to his ole bad-boy ways. "He's reckless and will disappear in his house for days at a time. He's not reliable." (It's not like we needed an insider to tell us that--JB's been a flake ever since he burped his way through the alphabet while simultaneously breaking Audrina Patridge's heart. And let's not forget the mind games he played with Kristin Cavallari!)
We wish these former reality hangers-on the best of luck--hey, maybe they have an actual chance of making it without all the cameras and producers stalking their every move--but a brief reminder for Holly: Remember when you said that true love doesn't exist for "Hills" casties? We have to wonder if that sentiment still applies...

It didn't take long for Audrina Patridge to recover from being booted off "DWTS." In fact, she's already put her dancing heels back on! Audrina recently visited NYC to promote the launch of Just Dance 2 for Wii, hosting a shake-it-til-you-make-it competition on YouTube. OK! magazine spoke with 'Drina at the event about her upcoming reality TV show on VH1, and it sounds like she'll be coming into her own with this new endeavor.
"[On] 'The Hills,' I was kind of in a bubble," she told the mag. "That was my 'Hills' life. This is going to be more about me and what I did when I wasn't filming 'The Hills' with my other friends and with pursuing my career." She also wants her fans to know the series won't be set up--she describes it as "raw" and "real." Gone are the days of acting as Audrina Patridge; now are the days of simply being Audrina Patridge.
We're really looking forward to seeing the parts of Audrina's world that she says never made it to "The Hills," but we're hoping Justin Bobby still makes an appearance. Every gal on camera needs an unreliable hot buffoon in her life to throw things off-kilter!

It's hard to imagine that Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine was ever without his trusty barber and ex-Hillzie Justin Bobby. ("I don't know quite how to say this -- I've got to say this delicately -- but [Justin] is the most incredible hairstylist ever," Levine shared in a previous interview with MTV.) But before the musician made it big and had the world's best groomers(?) at his disposal, he was just a flannel-sporting teen that, presumably, trimmed his own whiskers. "My hair was long and really ratty and nappy," Levine says in an upcoming episode of "When I Was 17."
Check out this sneak peek, where he talks about his wannabe Ethan Hawke chin strap, then tune in Saturday at 11/10c to hear about Kathy Griffin's first sexual encounter and Swizz Beatz' underage clubbing days.

While America bid farewell to the Hillzies earlier this month, London had to wait until this week to kick off their festivities. On Tuesday, Audrina Patridge crossed the pond to participate in "The Hills" finale party. Early in the day, she hopped on a Harley and vroomed off to the Haymarket Hotel. Her long, flowy locks blew in the wind, and her skinny black jeans, knee-high moto boots and white scoop-neck tunic revealed that inner badass we heart so much. If anyone knows how to be fabulous while hanging on for dear life straddled on the back of a motorcycle, it's 'Drina. (Finally, she put her Justin Bobby days to good use!)
+ What do you think of the ex-Hillzie's ensemble? Does it work for a ride on a chopper? Sound off in the comments!

Justin Bobby Brescia didn't make his way onto "The Hills" until the series' third season, but his flirtation with Audrina Patridge started way before that. On today's "The Hills: Revealed" special, show producers unsealed their lips to tell the juicy backstory, which included a spot-on first impression of Drina's perpetual sorta-boyfriend from Supervising Producer Spike Van Briesen: "When I first met Justin, he looked like a character out of 'Lord of the Rings.'" And like all hobbits, the badboy celeb hairstylist (he once got a glowing review from Maroon 5's Adam Levine!) wasn't really into crowds, or cameras.
Justin (at that point he only had one first name) refused to be shot when spending time with Audrina, and for a while it looked like her "Hills" days were numbered because all her personal drama was happening behind the scenes. But finally Audrina gave JB an ultimatum. She told him, "If you want to hang out with me, you have to be on camera."
Never let it be said that Justin didn't love Audrina at one time because the quiet beast finally agreed to film with the beauty just so he could be around her. And more importantly, Audrina was able to stop going on awkward first dates with d-bags and bring her real life into full view.
Good story, eh? Too bad 'Drina also has Justin to thank for crushing her soul every season since. Anywho, there are many more production secrets from where that one came. Watch "The Hills: Revealed" 22-minute special below to also hear about Lauren's last-minute decision to attend the Speidi wedding, as well as how the original cast of "Laguna Beach" was selected. Apparently, teenage stud Stephen Colletti had to be hunted down!

Tonight's jet-setting episode of "The Hills" sent the casties on a funky expedition to the jungles of Costa Rica, where the temperatures hovered in the 80s and the beachy atmosphere called for -- wait, what? -- wool hats? Apparently so. Both Brody and Justin sported cold-weather beanies on the Central American coast while the rest of the gang frolicked around (and by "frolicked" we mean "sprinted away faster than a camera shutter") in teeny-weeny bikinis and tank tops. So who misread the dress code memo?
+ Are hats like the ones pictured a seasonless accessory or were the boys looking totally clueless? Take the poll and let us know if you think ski caps in summer weather are a big fat "yay" or "nay."

Last night's episode of "The Hills" focused primarily on Audrina Patridge's love sorta-triangle (it's not a legitimate wedge just yet, but it is tryst-y looking) between her ex-boyfriend Ryan Cabrera and her previous ex-beau Justin Bobby. On-air relationships seem to be all-consuming as of late, but there's an even greater Hillzie split happening off-air.
Check out this clip from the "After Show," where hosts Jessi and Dan invite Kristin onto the stage to debunk the Spencer and Heidi rumors. Even though Heidi recently hired a divorce lawyer, K-Cav says that she still believes the whole thing is a crock of sh** -- they'll get the divorce for the publicity, but then reconcile, naturally.

On tonight's episode of "The Hills," we saw Justin Bobby come face to face with his ex, Kristin (who don't forget, "did things" to him that Audrina never could), for the first time since last season's finale. Back then, we were really pulling for the noncommittal couple to make it work and actually felt optimistic about their chances of riding off into the sunset wearing matching glittery helmets. Unfortunately, something must've gone awry during the break in filming to drive these two apart, which makes us doubly sad since they really looked adorbs tonight in those complementary cutoff vests.
While we were happy to see that the two natural-born players are still on good terms and want the best for each other (Kristin really seems to think JB and 'Drina should give it another whirl!), a nagging elephant in the room question remains: Just why did they call it quits? Below are a few possible absurd theories we put together for our own entertainment pleasure -- take a look, then share with us how YOU think the relationship ended.
Another Man?
Justin met Brody for brunch one day and suddenly realized that the Brodester was not actually sporting a new trend (the men's half-shirt) but his girlfriend Kristin's favorite nightshirt.
Another Woman?
Ever since Vegas, K-Cav couldn't stop thinking about that kiss with Stacie the Bartender and decided she wanted to try something new and different. Ultimately, Stacie broke things off after just three short weeks when she found a crack pipe in her lover's purse. (At least, that's what Lo Bosworth's been leading us to believe.)
Another Gender?
Stephen Colletti sabotaged the relationship by spreading rumors that Kristin was born a dude. (Hey, we knew she had balls!)

Justin Bobby rode onto "The Hills" scene as a disheveled hipster who looked much more suited for a mop and pail than a date with Audrina Patridge. Over the seasons, his taste in women matured (and in some cases, didn't), and thankfully, his eye for fashion followed suit. Let's relive some of the signature looks that have helped define the rocker.
Season 3
Style: Castaway Refugee
Runway Notes: His shagalicious brown locks and desire for all things Rasta made us weary of getting within smelling distance of his mane, his motorcycle or his crude belches. When he wasn't burping, he was dropping some deep thoughts with deceptive eyes and furrowed brows. But admittedly, the guy was kinda hot ...
Season 4
Style: Homeless Chic
Runway Notes: Between the ripped sleeves, graffiti-inspired hats and flannel button-ups, the absence of Justin’s unwashed locks was really the only thing that warranted "chic." He looked a bit like a hobo that got his hands on an occasional single-blade razor. But still hot.
Season 5
Style: Grizzly Adams
Runway Notes: It was almost as if Justin's sense of style backtracked this season. He let his beard run amok and his shoulder-length tendrils were usually entangled in his sun-bleached whiskers (a result of chillin' at Kristin's Malibu beach house). Not as hot, but hot.
Season 6
Style: Jack Sparrow Meets Tommy Hilfiger
Runway Notes: Something strange happened in the off-season -- Justin got a clean shave (maybe even his first ever?). When he resurfaced at the Purple Melon concert, all we could look at was his chin! (Who knew he had one?) While we don't love his outdated Jheri curl, he was looking pretty sharp (and yes, hot) tonight in the cable-knit sweater and structured nautical-appropriate peacoat.
